This is one of the few books in my life I couldn't muster enough energy or interest in to finish- probably because if the author had actually addressed the issues at hand I might have.McGrath tries to put together a cohesive, compelling argument against what's termed New Atheism, but neglects severa...
Being a person questioning religion, but being of a religious bent, I dislike findamentalist athiests, much the same as I dislike fundamentalst anything. This book discusses how by being so agressive many athiests are actually sending people back to religion. I found it interesting in light of sev...
After reading C.S. Lewis: A Life: Eccentric Genius, Reluctant Prophet by Alister E. McGrath I feel a bit like I actually know nothing at all about the works of C.S. Lewis.

A more engaging story then the first book (Chosen Ones) and written in a more 'happening' pace, while still retaining a very slight similarity to 'Narnia'. Plot development was good, but the ending was abrupt. It was not that it hinted at a follow-up book, the ending was all of two pages which (this...
How can a book of this nature be a "page-turner"? I'm not really sure how McGrath pulled it off, but I could not stop reading this book. As someone who is relatively new to understanding the "New Atheist" movement and philosophical debates, I found McGrath to be a capable and entertaining guide. Fir...
